Keith,
John discusses the change to an integrated plant a little in the first few paragraphs and has posted about that in the past (on camaros.net and on CRG). From what I know, plant setup depended on when you worked there and what division ran the plant. The divided plant was incredibly inefficient.

There's a few posts around here with info from Moparts' dad who worked at the St. Louis plant...Fisher body did from the firewall back, then passed the car through a wall to Chevrolet who took it from there. Pretty wild...

OK My 67 Yenko on the trim tag has 4FK - I started asking about the dash. Nobody knows for sure. I know of 3 67's 375 non Yenko cars that don't have the dash. I know of 3 67 Yenko's that have the dash. I also know of 2 that don't.Yenko I think had ordered several 67's 375 cars at one time. This I think were a fleet order, They have the dashs on them that's all it is not a COPO order. COPO is away to order cars not offered under RPO #s in other words not all dealers could get them. I hope this helps. Kim
